Salcombe Powerboat School is based in the
beautiful waters of the Salcombe estuary.

Training/Assessment in all types of
powerboats - from the complete beginner to the experienced commercial user. I
teach and assess all levels of R.Y.A. courses and beyond, including the writing
and operation of specialist courses for government agencies. Courses can be run
using our fleet of school RIBs, (Rigid Inflatable Boats) varying from 5.6m with
90hp to 7.8m with twin 130hp. or in your own craft. All our RIBs are fully DoT
coded for working commercially offshore. I am open throughout the year, Salcombe
is delightful throughout the seasons.
Powerboating abroad? You will need your
"International Certificate of Competence". I can train, examine and
award this certificate. Gain experience and confidence by taking a holiday
cruise aboard our new, state of the art, 26 foot, twin engined, 260hp RIB
skippered by an experienced offshore powerboat helmsman. This vessel is fully
equipped for serious offshore cruising. We will organise everything; from
waterproofs to a bed to rest your head at the end of the day. Many cruises
available throughout the year; Scilly Isles, Channel Islands, France etc, or
take part in our once a year "Round Britain RIB Cruise". No previous
experience necessary.
Our RIBs are available to hire by qualified
powerboat helmsmen. How about using Powerboats for Corporate Entertainment
Event. Please give me a ring, I've organised many. Visit our "Making
Waves" page on our website.

| History |
| This site was
founded back in 1999 as a resource for powerboaters interested
in furthering their boat handling skills via training or simply
reading about how to handle their craft better. Since its
inception it remains the only site dedicated to powerboat
training and is ranked No1 for Powerboat Training by search
engines such as Google, Yahoo and Altavista. The site has been
reviewed by a variety of magazines and websites and its content
is regularly used by other more mainstream sites. |
